How do l know when to use de in the sense of some although it isn't necessarily expressed in the English sentence eg je mange DE la confiture = l eat /am eating jam or perhaps peu d'élèves ?

Bonjour , J'habite a' Toronto ! est-ce la bonne façon

In the line: "je vais y aller maintenant" why is the "y" included? I thought near future was just aller + infinitive. This also does not seem to be following the rules for "y"as an adverbial pronoun. Thanks!

Hi there - this topic is giving me the biggest trouble. Crafting questions!

Is there any advice or guidance or on how to approach this? I cannot seem to connect with this at all. Thanks!

I'm currently teaching my high school French students the different uses of "Bon" and "Bien". We've already studied Bien as an adverb and are now focusing on its use as an adjective. One website that I am using for example phrases gave me this sentence: "Il est bon de se reposer après une longue journée)." Another one was: "Il est bon de vérifier votre travail avant de le soumettre." Based on my understanding and recent study of this concept, it seems that both phrases should use Bien in the place of Bon.

Any thoughts or explanations are appreciated.

Is there a complete list of words like: des bals([dancing] balls),
des carnavals,
des festivals,
des récitals,..?

I can't find it on your site.

Thanks in advance, Jaap.
